There are opportunities to develop work in partnership with a range of festivals, creation centres and universities in different parts of Europe and with our key partner the Winchester Hat Fair. The University is also developing a range of workshops and festival events to support emergent artists and recent graduates in exchange with students from universities in other European and American partners.
The programme provides students with the skills to create and produce spectacular performances for festivals and large-scale events; make and perform large-scale puppets; engage in the vibrant world of street dance, music and comedy; or develop shows that students could perform in different countries around the world. As a performing artist, students may also choose to create and organise live events through an understanding and practice of creative production and through working with a wide range of partnerships that range from community celebrations, the heritage industry and commercial companies as well as international street arts festivals.
Students are able to develop a portfolio of work throughout the degree and have the opportunity to showcase it in front of creative producers, agents and event organisers here and abroad.
